Richard's Tastes Redux


From today's broadcast of CNN's American Morning with Paula Zahn...


HEMMER:Yes. Who is the man behind the curtain, by the way, Richard?


QUEST: We can't show him.


HEMMER:You can't, OK, all right.

HEMMER:Continue...

Finally from me, now, look, how about -- a couple of weeks ago, we talked about eating baked beans on toast. Now, there is a man in Britain. His name is Jeffrey Smitt (ph). He says basically he has eaten fish and chips out of paper every day for the past 40 years, 40 years of fish and chips. We make that 14,000 portions of fish and chips. That's an enormous...


HEMMER:There's nothing else to eat in London, is there?

QUEST:Please!


HEMMER:It's a Dutch thing. Hey, Richard, have a good weekend.


QUEST:Have a good one.
